During a 30-minute stump speech focused mostly on foreign affairs, Trump blasted Obama's handling of Libya, Iraq, China and Afghanistan, and in one of his many curse-bombs, he lamented the nation's focus on building schools in war-torn Iraq, while neglecting education in the United States.

"In the meantime we can't get a f---ing school in Brooklyn," he said.

He also cursed the spike in gas prices: "We have nobody in Washington that sits back and said, you're not going to raise that f---ing price."

Trump even dropped what's considered the most offensive f-bomb when he promised to use swear words while negotiating with China.

"Listen you mother f---ers, we're going to tax you 25 percent," he said.

Trump also sprinkled in a number of insults directed toward the nation's leaders.

"Our leaders are stupid, they are stupid people," he said. "It's just very, very sad."

Trump is not going to be the nominee. His record of statements is light years apart from the fiscal conservatism that will be required from the next Presidential election's GOP nominee. I'm sure he knows that.

Using the terms "mother f*******" in China is generally a bad idea. That is because they do not take it as just a slur, they really take it to mean you are suggesting they boink their mothers. And I have seen that not only on mainland China, but in Singapore and Hong Kong. You would think those later cities would have gotten used to it.

There are some similar slurs in the middle east that get a reaction sometimes more explosive than mocking Mohammed.

But what this shows is Trump is NOT really running for president. Trump is self promoting. Which is fine. Eventually we will get bored with this.

Trump is having the conversation the so called adults in DC refuse to have. But, he will not be a serious candidate because he cannot win.

The president, who has done nothing for two years, except campaign for reelection, golf, vacation, and entertain us on talk shows, while ignoring crisis after crisis, is unfortunately the front runner in Chief.

Unless things get worse and he involves himself, which will guarantee a monumental disaster, he may just win again. His hands off policy and ignoring crises is working to his advantage.

Why not Trump??? He's doesn't mince words, he knows what the problems are, he says what he's gonna do in no uncertain terms...

...and, most importantly, he's the opposite of all those awful big-government social conservatives who think the federal government is the appropriate tool for advancing their moral ideas.

In the first sentence of the linked piece:

...a speech that likely won't help him win the family-values vote should he decide to run for president.

Yup! And those family-values voters need to be marginalized, because they're holding back the Republican party from solving our problems. They'd rather have an America whose morals they can rail against than an America that is secure and doing well.

I wonder if he called the Chinese "motherfuckers" when he went into business with them. It makes sense, I guess. I've always looked at the Trump ties in stores and thought, "No way any self-respecting American is making those, let alone wearing them."

Trump's solution are just as fucking stupid as Obama's. Wanna get oil prices down? Open up oil leases and stop holding up the ones ready to go. (No, the supply won't have an immediate effect, the knowing that there will be more supply will.)

Well there goes the Focus On The Family endorsement. Who does he think he is, George Patton. Trump will have to be fired...right after the economic World War battles have been fought and won by Trump's leadership.

So far as I can remember, the only public service act Trump has performed in his long life is the renovation of a skating rink in Central Park. OK, there's something honest about someone who is so patently crass, venal, and selfish, but one would hope that a President would appeal to some higher aspiration than the wish for cheap gas and supermodels....I do, however, like the idea that he has planted in the minds of the Arab leaders that at a certain point we might just go over there and take their fucking oil. Genghis Khan had no difficulty in conquering Afghanistan or Baghdad

Trump is a wild man. He is a white man who not afraid of Obama's race card. He is a capitalist who is not afraid of China's clout. He is a protestant who is not afraid of the church ladies. He is a New Yorker who is not afraid of the New Yorker's disdain for the GOP. He is a man who is not afraid of a beautiful woman. And on top of that he tries to get along with everyone he meets. Trump "is a difficult boy". Karl Rove may have to consider suicide.

1. Vow to make the US an energy "exporting" country during your first term. This will drive down the prices, screw the Saudis and others and help pay our bills.

2. Promise to fix the government we've got instead of expanding it. Put "managers" instead of "zealots" in all cabinent level positions. Make their first order of business review of every box on the org chart. There are tens (hundreds?) of thousands of people doing stuff that we do not truly need. Ax them.

3. Eliminate all grant funding for non science-related university projects.

4. Eliminate funding of international organizations and NGOs that act against our national interests.

"We have nobody in Washington that sits back and said, you're not going to raise that f---ing price."

That he believes that's both viable and proper is an indictment beyond anything else he's said.

When a candidate thinks that the office he's running for is that of Central Economic Planner or Sun King, that's a sign that he's deeply unqualified in a way that mere inexperience in Government service can't remotely match.

Government can raise prices by increasing taxes (via Congress).

The Executive can influence prices slightly by talking up future plans or creating uncertainty or the like.

What the Executive can't actually do, it turns out, is order people to set their prices a certain way.

Fred4Pres...Trump's mother was a Scottish born Macleod. Donald is a traditional Presbyterian. I can smell Presbyterians a mile off. They are comfortable in a highly educated covenant group that accepts every member's opinion but votes to make all decisions. As a result Presbyterians feel confident at all times and stubbornly refuse to be governed by others. He is a difficult boy.

Trump will make omelets. I remember a time when he made solemn promises to preserve the facade of a building in NY revered for its gargoyles. The very next day the building was gone. Trump matter of factly blamed it on a stupid contractor, made some insincere apologies and went about his business. I believe the hideous Trump Tower on 5th now occupies that hallowed ground. Say what you will he gets things done. He has a very real sense of humor. He is not letting up on this Obama guy and good for him. His policy ideas are, of course, nonsense.

Picture Donald Trump with the U.S. military standing behind him. Knowing what we do about Trump, the scenario suggests many, many offers certain countries and global entities won't refuse.

More, I liken him to the brash, quintessentially "ugly American." The bull in the China shop. A street fighter who gives no quarter and takes no prisoners. So much so the Left is now sending out their big guns, pit bulls like Lannie Davis.

In WW2, we summoned up the masculine role model of Humphrey Bogart in order to project the type of manhood necessary to survive and prevail in the trials at hand. He was a good man who didn't always do good things, but did the right thing when it counted. He was capable of doing the ugly tasks that war and reality bring to bear in life. He knew that in life, there are trade-offs, and all good things come with the pain of producing their outcome, even to the point of risking one's own life to bring it about.

Trump might not be presidential material, ultimately, but even so, are we now conjuring this role model again, with a character like Trump?

Revenant, I think you've been living in PC World for so long you honestly have no idea what this country is capable of. When not pussyfooting around, this is the most awesome power on the planet, and yeah - if we wanted absolutely anything we could take it - no questions asked.

China's no real threat to us - we just pretend it is. Because we're playing by stupid post-60s let's-all-be-friends rules. The problem is - and any idiot can see it - we're the only ones doing it. If we'd stop it, the jig would be up and the world would be set to right again.

Look at Libya. France and England, combined, can't dislodge Quaddafi. Shit, we could send in the Marines - not the Navy or the Air Force or the Army - just the Marines - and, if we'd tell the press and the rest of the pussies to stop whining and get out the way, the Marines, alone, would have that place shut down, and Quaddafi dead or in chains tomorrow. We just lack the balls to do it, because people like you can't conceive of American power and how to use it.

If we decide to use our big military dick to seize other nations' oil supplies, two things will happen.

Item One: Worldwide oil boycott on the United States by petroleum exporting states. At this point we have 40 days (the duration of the strategic petroleum reserves) before our prized military becomes a trillion-dollar collection of lawn ornaments.

Item Two: The nations of the world deny us permissions to use their territory for military purposes. While our military is powerful as a collective whole, there are only a handful of nations in which our military power exceeds that of the host nation.

While China and Russia are rather pathetic militarily compared to us, they will have two advantages: they're located close to most of the oil-producing states, and they have nukes. And they WILL use nukes if its a choice between that and letting the USA seize the world's petroleum supplies.

Nuke fucking Mecca and let's see what the price is then.

Pretty far north of $80 a gallon, since you'll have created the worst oil shortage in world history by taking out Saudi Arabia.

You morons need to learn that you can't achieve economic success with an army. That's the same dipshit tactic every two-bit dictator from Hitler to Hussein has tried, and they've all failed miserably.
